Imaging USA Classes: August 2017 Archives

Imaging USA 2018 will be here before you know it...three-to-six days of everything

photography, including learning, networking, shopping, and partying! It's all going down in the Music City, Nashville, TN, January 14-16, 2018 (Pre-Con classes January 11-13).

Imaging USA is known far-and-wide as THE place to see some of the best speakers in the photography industry, as they take you on deep-dives into every photographic and business topic you could want to learn more about. In order to get you even more excited (if that's possible!), PPA is going to spend the next several months highlighting our 2018 Imaging USA speakers.

In 2008, Carrie stepped down off the corporate ladder and began building a business of her own. Her team of Tampa-based photographers quickly took the wedding market by storm, and Carrie has never looked back. She has created her success through consistent branding, building strong relationships and a talent for capturing her clients' stories. Carrie is as passionate about her industry as she is about business and is devoted to helping other photographers succeed. Since 2013, she's been a mentor and instructor with PPA, and has taught many workshops and PPAedu-video modules. Carrie is very involved in her community, continually cultivating relationships, and is a member of the National Association of Catering Executives as well as the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce. She has earned her Certification and Craftsman degrees. The opportunity to hear Carrie share her experience and knowledge is not one to miss.

What is your most treasured possession? Hmmm if my house was on fire I would grab my grandmother's china, our wedding album and backup drives (this is 2nd to my family, of course!).

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? "I'm so sure" and "for the love"

Carrie Wildes is just one of the many amazing speakers you'll get to meet and learn from at Imaging USA 2018! Registration is online now so take advantage of the Early Bird rates for passes and your hotel!
